3. Feb Series Classes w/ Gabe & Andrea, Gilles & Audrey, Pinar & Jeff!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the last week of February classes, but you are always welcome to drop in. Stay tuned for next March class descriptions in the following newsletter!

*** LEVEL 1 - SPREADIN' THE RHYTHM AROUND ***
8:15 - 9:15pm
This class is a great introductory class as well as an all-levels reminder that the basics are where it's at! This class will go over the many rhythms lindy hop has to offer and how to move through them with grace and ease. We will cover movements from both 6 and 8 count patterns and kick things up a notch by making them flow nicely together. There will be something for everyone!

*** LEVEL 2 - TOUR DE CHARLESTON ***
7:15 - 8:15pm
Gabe and Andrea will lead you through a tour-de-charleston in February. Perfect for spicing up your faster tempos. We will go over many ways into and out of the many different charlestons along with some ideas for movements to do with each. It's a month you definitely shouldn't miss! This class is perfect for those looking to beef up their Charleston as well as those of you fresh out of Level 1.

*** LEVEL 3 - CRAZY RHYTHM ***
7:15 - 8:15pm
Come explore Crazy Rhythms with Audrey and Gilles as they break apart your basic framework and help you paint it anew in fun and colorful ways. In this series you'll play with timing and syncopation, solo movement within partner dancing, challenging footwork and much more. The classes will be geared towards dancers who are very comfortable with swingout variations, Charleston basics and some solo movement. Come ready to express yourself!

*** ALL LEVELS BALBOA - BAL-SWING ***
8:15 - 9:15pm
This month, Jeff and Pinar will add a bit more spice to your Balboa with an entire month of Bal-Swing. They will add spins and turns, returning to closed position connection on occasion. The class will cover cross over-breaks, lolly kicks, throw outs, the come-around, the send-out, the break-turn and many variations thereof for those more experienced dancers. The class starts with basics, so all levels are encouraged to take it.

*** PRICING & SCHEDULE ***
7:15-8:15pm - Level 2 Lindy OR Level 3 Lindy ($16 drop-in)
8:15-9:15pm - Level 1 Lindy OR Balboa ($16 drop-in)
